Dunwoodie, New York. Theological seminary for the Diocese of New York. It was originally founded in 1838 at Lafargeville, Jefferson County, New York. It was moved to Fordham in 1841, and became known as Saint John's Seminary. In 1864 it was established at Troy, New York, under its former title, and in 1896 was removed to its present location under the supervision of the Sulpician Fathers. The secular clergy assumed control of the courses of study in 1906.
